Not a good one. The most reliable way is to check the downloads page and see if the available version is the one you’re running. There will also be at least one tweet from LoveQuicksilver and probably an announcement here when the release goes final. You can also look at the same place the application checks. http://qs0.qsapp.com/plugins/check.php should always show the build number for the latest final release. > Perhaps the online release notes could state if a given build is blessed as a > release (so for example the current ones would show B71/3937 (pre-release)? Maybe. That file is generated from a version controlled file, but isn’t version controlled itself, so I’m more willing to change it. But that’s one more step we might forget, and if you’re willing to go to a web page to find out, you could just go to the downloads page or the other link above. :-) > Thanks for the pointer to Extras, I had assumed it would be with the updates > section under Prefs > Application. Your assumption makes more sense than the reality. Not sure why it’s under Extras or how hard it would be to move, but we should. All that results list stuff (under Command) should go under Appearance, too. > Another suggestion, it would be great if there was some way to know what > commit a build is associated with. Perhaps if they were tagged (or > equivalent) in github. We could tag them with build numbers I guess, but if we write good commit messages, you should be able to tell from that. For instance, https://github.com/quicksilver/Quicksilver/commit/1389340076c5ed808fec9b47b736e98ccddf1a1a (That’s on the release branch.
